Description

Glen Nevis YHA, to CIC hut, gully No.4 Total white out at summit!!! Navigation on bearings backed up with GPS when pacing distance. Return via tourist track. Met 2 guys 'wandering' on the summit plateau, poorly kitted, no axe or crampons. Wearing hoodies. They followed us down... One of the guys were using over shoe grippers but one had broken so only had one. Slow descent into darkness. The 2 guys didn't have head torches which slowed progress even more.

Area : Ben Nevis & Aonach Mor (Fort William To Loch Leven)

This area covers the mountains between Fort William, Loch Leven (to the south) and Loch Treig (to the east). The area includes Ben Nevis and Carn Mor Dearg, The Mamores, The Aonachs and The Grey Corries. An impressive 20 Munros are split equally by Glen Nevis and the waters of Abhainn Rath. Relatively accessible from the A82, these mountains hold some classic walking and climbing routes such as The Ring of Steall in the Mamores and Point Five Gully on Ben Nevis. Includes all major peaks above 600m.
